        We're still not sure why this happens sometimes. It seems to be related to a recent Switch update. It would be helpful if you could take notes when it happens, eg. what date and time of day it either does or doesn't work, what other games/apps were running on the switch recently (did it recently connect "normally" to the Internet?), etc.

        I believe @Yanderemenhera and a few others are also occasionally having this problem. With note taking / theorizing, there's a good chance of figuring out what the rules are related to this error message being displayed. You can also try CaptiveDNS if you have a PC on the same network, but probably it will show the same error: https://github.com/browseDNS/CaptiveDNS

        And then the only other advice I have is: try rebooting, try connecting normally, using Google DNS (8.8.8.8), launching some online apps and letting the Switch "connect"/sync normally. I suspect it's something that happens if the console hasn't "phoned home" in a while. Like if it needs to make sure that all online services still work before displaying the captive portal browser.
